End-to-end Ruby on Rails expertise
From application architecture to infrastructure, including the database and code quality.
Rails & architecture
Designing maintainable Rails applications: organizing business logic layers, managing coupling, choosing between a modular monolith and service extraction only when the context justifies it, never on principle.
Code quality & tests
Building and maintaining a reliable test suite (RSpec/Minitest), code review, conventions shared across the team, reducing duplication and dead code.
PostgreSQL
Schema design, indexing, complex queries, zero-downtime migrations, managing data growth.
Redis & Sidekiq
Application caching, background job queues, worker sizing, retry and long-job handling.
Performance & observability
Diagnosing slowdowns, setting up metrics and traces to measure the real impact of changes over time.
Infrastructure
Deployment, environment configuration, guidance on hosting choices sized to the product's actual needs.
